My first purse!

[lyssian.livejournal.com]

Made from a pair of old overalls that my mom was just going to *throw away*. XD Well, can't have that when a craftgirl is on the loose!

It's hand stitched and I messed up a little on the lining (shh! don't tell!), but it came out really well for a first try.



Three pockets, one with a zip closure. The shoulder straps are now the purse straps. :) I KNEW I had to do that. Was my inspiration, actually.


One pocket here, cut from the back of the overalls. Simple.


Red flannel lining from a shirt that was also about to be trashed. :) Waste not...


So what do you think? Cute? Stupid? Sellable? I sure hope so. ~_^ A friend of mine is considering buying it, I'm going to show it to her tomorrow, see what she thinks.

Also, so I don't clog posts:



I just got a huge amount of stamps from someone - they're from everwhere from the US to Cuba to Australia to the Netherlands. Anyone have any ideas for me, other than the stamp bracelets I've made?
